ABOUT ME
I am a single *blah* 17-year-old college freshman and am in the drumline in the UTC Marching Band! I also play mallets.(Charity will still probably call me in the middle of the night from Georgia Tech threatening me not to play Fluffy Ruffles!)! I am obsessed with marching bands, drum corps *Go Cavaliers!!!!*, and the like. My favorite color is blue and I love white tigers, astronomy, and magic. I am terrified of heights, I can't swing more than 4 feet off the ground without being petrified, but I LOVE going on roller-coasters and even don't mind going upside-down occassionally. I love science fiction and shows that have to do with science fiction. Yes I am a Trekkie, not a Trekker *but I only like The New Generation* and I watch Quantum Leap. I love music, any and all kinds, and constantly listen to marching band music (I told you I was obsessed). I miss my H.S. band, the Central Sound of Chattanooga, terribly! Go Purple Pounders!

WARNING: Contains questionable language. I question it all the time. *and the last part is just creepy*


Well, some people say that you play the best when you are totally sober. However, that crap's only true for legit trumpet players. When you're a jazz lead player, you can only get so much good practicing done. After a while, double C after double C will push your teeth back into your gums and smash your lips to hell. Well knowing that the body regenerates and if you sleep with a retainer to shove your teeth back out (like I do), the only problem is the excrutiating pain, correct? So, how do I eleviate the pain without lessening my practicing length and intensity? Well my friend, the solution is simple. The secret is alcohol. The more you drink, the less you feel it on your face. With a six-pack or so under your belt, you won't feel shit as long as the alcohol stays in your system. As long as you don't split your lip, that is. But even then, just grab a needle and thread and sew that baby back up.
For all band members!!!
You sunk my jengajam!!! We'll see if those trees you're hugging save you when Gordon Lightfoot comes creepin' around YOUR backstair
